Don’t Forget the Wine! (And Thanksgiving!)

Ha ha! You thought this blog was going to be about the wine tasting that is happening this Thursday, November 19 in Dinosaur Hall from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m., didn’t you? You also thought you would get more information about how members can purchase tickets for $20 and non-members can get theirs for $25, right? You probably even hoped to find that yes, indeed, there will be tasty appetizers and you will get a complimentary drink ticket. But you are wrong, my friend. All that stuff about the Wine Tasting event is just silly.

So here is what the blog is REALLY about: Thanksgiving traditions. Discovery Park of America employees have stopped, collaborated, and listened to each other share their favorite Thanksgiving memories and traditions with our favorite person: YOU.

Please, feel free to share with us YOUR favorite Thanksgiving traditions and memories. We hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving at my house smells like oranges.”Kayla: “Getting a warm, home-cooked meal and getting to spend time with my family.”Katie: “I not only love Thanksgiving for visiting with my family, but I love Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving!”
